Mids tend to sound a bit tinny and bright
the audio will certainly be passable for listeners who are used to listening to stock
No good - the touch controls were still too unreliable to use
they are horrible to the point of unusable for phone calls
some sound processing modes can take a little bit extra out of your battery
no substitute for sliding them into your own ears
the finely-honed ergonomics or rugged design

too bright or crisp on rock vocals and guitars
lacks tremendous bass
the hangers a bit awkward
